About Our Opportunity

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Policy Analyst to join our team at the Department of Finance and Treasury Board. As a key member of our policy team, you will play a critical role in providing policy research and analysis to support government and department priorities.

As the Senior Policy Analyst, you will be responsible for identifying policy issues that span the department and associated agencies, boards, and commissions. You will work closely with senior department staff to encourage horizontal policy development, integrating policy with financial decisions.

You will also analyze and provide advice on fiscal planning and government revenues, as well as multidisciplinary, interdepartmental, and intergovernmental policy issues that link to the fiscal sustainability of the province.

Primary Accountabilities
  • Undertake policy research, analyze policy options, including financial implications, and provide advice.
  • Conduct environmental scans and make recommendations on a broad range of policy initiatives, including budget and fiscal policy.
  • Prepare submissions to Executive Council as well as the Treasury and Policy Board.
  • Consult with the Executive Council Office, other departments, and other jurisdictions to ensure sound policy development.
Qualifications and Experience

To be successful in this role, you will require an undergraduate degree from a related field, such as Business Administration, Commerce, Public Administration, Political Science, Finance, or Economics, with a minimum of 5 years of related experience. Alternatively, you may have a master's degree from a related field with 2 years of related experience.

You will have previous experience in policy analysis, development, and coordination, including strategic planning, business planning, and accountability reporting. You will possess strong strategic thinking and analytical skills, demonstrated leadership capability, and exceptional communication and facilitation skills.

You will also have solid technical knowledge with proficiency in the Microsoft Suite of software, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. While not required, a background in finance, economics, accounting, and taxation, as well as familiarity with issues related to fiscal planning, economic policy, financial sector policy, debt and debt management, and budget issues in Nova Scotia, is considered an asset.

What We Offer
  • Career development opportunities, including access to career guidance, tools, resources, and ongoing training.
  • An engaging workplace culture that values employee well-being and recognizes individual contributions.
  • A dynamic, client-focused office environment that prioritizes service excellence and teamwork.
